EXAM QUESTION 2

 In this TV series they use lots of different effects of sound to show you how they are feeling they use voice over and the cross cutting of seeing one of the officers it frames what we see and what is happening. It will show us the action of what is happening and the irony of someone speaking in the background to show us what reality is instead of what they want us to see. At the beginning we see Ryan running around chasing stag-do revelers on a nudist beach while in the background we have a voice over of Chief saying "Ensure cohesion and security" while Ryan is struggling to stop the argument between a man on the nudist beach and the stag-do's. After this at the end of the argument when Ryan is really tired and exhausted and looking quite ashamed of himself we here another voice over of the chief say "we here earning the enduring respect of the people they serve" as soon as this is said we hear a member of the public shake his head and say "what even is the point of you" this shows irony that its not as perfect as they want it to be and that everyone makes mistakes in their jobs.

After this scene we skip to all the crime and things that they have to deal with and see the gruesome, and also the violent crimes. The first thing we see is a drug addict who has been self - harming who is very shaken and needs help. Ryan in this first scene hands over the situation to Jake who doesn't quite know what he is doing and at first comes across as quite rude and mean. He isn't sympathetic to the drug addict, next we see Ryan who knows how to calm down this poor guy and keeps reassuring him telling him everything will be okay and that they will get him help. He also reassures him by asking him if they were allowed to go around the house and check on things and would ask if it was okay for them to touch him so they could help. By doing this it build up trust between the police and the drug addict. Although this man has committed a crime by doing drugs and having possession of them Ryan definitely doesn't see him in that way and by the end Jake has learn what to do and also sees this man as a poor man who they feel sorry for. 

The last crime we see is a racist crime committed by a racist gang in a shop. At the beginning of the scene there very dark dramatic music to show us something band will happen as the boy is on the phone to his mum saying he will be okay. Right before this we also see Jo say "our favorite racist murderer is out again" this uses foreshadowing telling us something will happen and that Jo will be involved. In the murder scene the racist boy refers to the boy as a "mussi" and "raghead" make fun of his religion and being racist he then starts to accuse him of laughing at him while dark music starts to play as the boy trys to get away. Then we see the boy injured bleeding while the gang walks away. At the end of this scene Jo walks in a signs a piece of paper and says hi to a guard working at the scene who is Muslim, this shows that she is okay with every religion and she is a good person. Jo comes in and is very sweet and calm with the young boy who she thinks might have seen the murder and the gang. Jo Moffat is a sweet kind character who is very sensitive and down to earth and wants to help everyone in the community. She also has a very humors side to her who is just trying to enjoy her job  which we see right at the beginning. We clearly see that she is just trying to help her community andd whats the best for them and its trying to get along with everyone.
